Euro 2012

[carpon]

Tonight should serve as a warning to Hodgson & the boys.....take it too lightly on Tuesday and we'll be on the way home. I wonder if the Ruskies thought they were all but home and hosed and into the knock out phase before they played the Greeks !!!

It's gonna be tough Tuesday !! Win and maybe finish top.............or p****foot around and play for a draw / avoid getting beat and we might just end up with egg on our faces.

Though we're still not good enough to win it ???? Or maybe Hodgson should take a leaf out of the Mancini book of mindgames !!!

How does points system work?

Group A

Poland 2 draws 1 lose 2 goals
Greece 1 draw 1 lose 1 win 3 goals
Russia 1 draw 1 lose 1 win 5 goals
Czech R 1 lose 2 wins 4 goals

Ok so it's clear that Czech Rep go through. Then you have Russisa and Greece - so how come Russia don't go through when they got more goals and Greece do go through?

But I thought it was points gained from the over all performances. Not just if they won the last game?

Greece n Russia attained the same points 4 each, But Greece beat Russia. Goals for/against obviously aint a factor. makes no odds when they play each other, last match or first.

Yeh so what do you get points for then, obviously for a win you get points - how many! I take it you don't get points for more goals then as Russia had the highest amount.

So clarify this points system then? Cheers

Both had equal points, but on the night Greece won, the winner of the head to Head match (Greece) qualifies.
